Description

Flaky, buttery croissants filled with soft scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and sausage, finished with a rich maple butter spread. These croissant breakfast sandwiches are comforting, slightly sweet, and perfect for an easy yet indulgent breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients
    For the Maple Butter
  • 100 g unsalted butter (softened, room temperature)
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt
    • For the Egg Filling
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking eggs)
    • For the Sandwich Filling
  • 4 large butter croissants (bakery-style preferred)
  • 4 beef or turkey sausage patties
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp oil (for cooking sausage)
Instructions
    Prepare the Maple Butter
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, add the softened butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Cover and set aside at room temperature so it stays spreadable.
    2. Cook the Sausage Patties
  2. 2

    Heat a pan over medium heat and add the oil. Place the sausage patties in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

    3. Make Soft Scrambled Eggs
  3. 3
    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk well.
  4. 4
    Melt butter in a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir slowly with a spatula. Cook gently until the eggs are soft, creamy, and just set. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
    5. Prepare the Croissants
  5. 5
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Slice the croissants horizontally without cutting all the way through. Lightly toast them in the oven for 4–5 minutes until warm and slightly crisp on the outside.
    6. Assemble the Sandwiches
  6. 6
    Spread a generous layer of maple butter on the inside of each warm croissant.
  7. 7
    Add scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and a slice of cheese. Close the croissants gently.
    8. Melt the Cheese
  8. 8
    Place the assembled sandwiches back into the oven for 3–4 minutes, just until the cheese melts beautifully and everything is heated through.
Note

You can prepare the maple butter up to 3 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator.

For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese and whole wheat croissants.

Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

These sandwiches can be wrapped and frozen (without maple butter) for up to 1 month.
